Everybody has them.

T-shirts from races are nice. I like them because it ensures I am not going home empty handed. Some go in the wearing rotation, some are worn for changing the oil in my car, and others are rags (which are very important). Looking for fodder for this little site I will start to evaluate them. Here is a recent acquisition.
Alabama Bump and Grind 2010. Well done with the brown color and subtle light brown and white lettering. Subtle is good because you really do not want people to read "Sweet 16" across the top. A little creepy for a grown adult male, but to each his own.

Then there's "bump n' grind" to make it even creepier. Fit for church?

Then the final exclamation "Radical!" Now we're "Gleaming the Cube" again?

The statements taken individually or together still have me guessing.

Accenting the shirt is a kokopelli figure, acceptable during a brief hemp necklace-wearing period in the mid-90s. But we (or everyone but me) have cell phones now people. We do not need petroglyphs.

The statements on the shirt are to creepy and confusing for me to wear, but Chula likes the colors and wears it with the assumption that no one actually reads it. I am not sure what message it sends. I might make it into a rag.
